The next VRGeo Consortium Meeting will happen on March 7-8, 2017 in Sankt Augustin, Germany, on the Fraunhofer Schloss Birlinghoven Campus. The VRGeo Consortium Meeting primarily is for the members of the VRGeo Consortium, but it is also open and free of charge once for companies of the international oil & gas industry and related technology providers (prospects) considering a VRGeo Consortium membership. We are looking forward to welcome you at this unique event. ***** The next VRGeo Consortium Meeting will happen on March 7-8, 2017 in Sankt Augustin, Germany, on the Fraunhofer Schloss Birlinghoven Campus.

In order to enhance recovery from existing fields, to explore new hydrocarbon sources by entering new challenging operational frontiers, and to reduce the environmental footprint, information technology is crucial.

The VRGeo Consortium is a consortium of the international oil and gas industry. The main goal of this consortium is the development and evaluation of interactive hardware and software technologies for visualization systems in the oil and gas industry.

The work in the VRGeo Consortium is addressing oil and gas integrated visualization and interpretation workflows from personal to presentation environments spanning the continuum from tablet-PCs to desktops to small collaboration scenarios to large scale solutions.

Major challenges and objectives are:

Big Geoscience Data Visualization and Analytics

Novel Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Paradigms and Technologies

Small and Large-scale Collaborative Environments

The VRGeo R&D Agenda as defined by the VRGeo Consortium Steering Committee encompasses the following activities and projects:
